This PAW is the product of an experiment the focus of which was to preserve the 
colours of the sun rise and sky in the image without sacrificing all detail in 
its foreground. 

To form the image I selectively combined two shots from a +_1 stop bracket in 
Photoshop. I pasted the darker image over the brightest image, registered the 
images (set top layer opacity temporarily to 50%) and then set about 
selectively erasing the areas of the darker image (good sky) with a feathered 
brush at 25% opacity until I came up this:

It's not perfect but it gives me a lot of ideas for future images along the 
same vein particularly given that it was only hand held.

Comments and criticisms welcome.

Cheers,
